To Whom it may concern: I am not entirely certain if this is the right email address but I felt compelled to contact your media house with this.
I came upon a video online of a college lecturer and his student, and this took me back to my years as a student in one of the Nigerian colleges, an experience that scarred me and had me living with guilt for so many years after. My hope is that your organization will take on this issue, maybe this case, and give a voice to Judith(the student in this case) and the millions of girls around the country who have had to deal with this sort of sex-ploitation at one time or another.
Our women need to speak and we would appreciate it if you would help us get our cries for help heard.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Tracy Okorie
WHAT IS WRONG WITH US????
What is wrong with us, Nigerians? Why would you call her a prostitute? Even if she is, should her courage not be commended and encouraged among our women.
Does any one have any idea how many women have fallen victim to these randy he-goats?
I know a student that abandoned University after spending 6 years for a 4 years course just because she refused to sleep with one lecturer who made it clear that she would never graduate unless she gave in. After re-writing the exam couple of times without success, she never came back to school.
Smelly dirty bastards, without conscience, who sleep with girls younger than their daughters.
"9 days for the thief and 1 day for the owner". May more be caught and prosecuted.
very shamful
yes i am not happy with this lecturer but i know definitely we was victimized and setup by the student Judith. Surly the student convinced he to come around becos of ore interior motive. The both of them are birds of the same feather . Judith also does not have the right to publish this video . This is against human right . The lecture most have being in her room on invitation and she then conspired againt him . She was not raped and its not a crime for a lecture to have an eye on his or her student so far force was not involved . meanwhile i am not in support of this lecturer he neva hard respect 4 him self either .
Why did SR remove the video?
Why did SR remove the video?
I am extremly saddened by the support this useless professor is getting. Why are we a nation full of hypocrites? It doesn´t matter what Judith´s motives were when filming this video because the fact still remains that he has no right to intimidate and blackmail young girls to have sexual intercourse with him.
All over Nigeria, lecturers demand sex from their female students both in state and private universities.
I was a victim myself both in secondary school and the university. Luckily for me, both lecturers were sacked. Although their dismisal had nothing to do with me then, I now believe my God heard my prayers and dealt with them in his own special way. Enough is enough, encourage our young girls break their silence and speak out about the problems the face in the higher instituitions and we will be dealing with one of the major problems facing our educational system.
The so called JUDITH should be arrested and investigated bcos it takes two to be involve in sex.................
For all those castigating SR and this video, lets analyse this video:
Prof sitting down - victim of a planned escapade gone awry (definitely not kidnapped, seemed to be at home with d setting).A victim of kidnap would run outta dt rum at d 1st opportunity considering dt the door was wide open.
Student - whore, cheap slut, hare brained idiot or vitim of randy professor. I think d descriptions matches her.seems like a runs gal who trades sex for mark.in this case, she has obviously had an earlier "encounter" with prof.Notice dt prof admitted that he didnot remember her number (probably exam number) to give her marks for the earlier transactn

Think beyond the Lecturer:
A lady who is as wise and connected enough to produce an act as shown in the video, can not fall a victim of real sexual harrassment if she is equally seriously connected to her accademic life. 80% blame of campus sexual abuses should go to the stdents involved. Most of them solicit for it and adopt it as a survival technique.
Now is a case of randy lecturer. What about other "Randies?"
Most harrasers are encouraged to do so, one way or the other. Most homes do not give a damn about their children's sense of decency in the name of western civilisation. The western form of life is protected by various forms of laws, rules, ethics and social/ecconomic norms, such that do not exist in our environment. Ours is like playing "Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark"
Don't blame only the lecturer!

What happened to the video link...Don't tell me Sahara Reporters do not think it's worth viewing anymore.
Its true the video may not tell the whole story, we have seen many examples of that. But if the girl's motive was money she only needed to make the man write the check, cash the money and not post the video at all. They made the man write the check and they focused the camera on the check for proof and exposure. Thats obvious from the video. Its one thing to pressure a girl to sleep with you. its another thing to make her feel even lower by not compensating her at all as evident that there was a prior encounter with a bounced check. Anyone who says the motive is extortion needs to have their heads checked. The girl did what she had to do to get even with this shameless cheat. Anyone who talks about reporting to this authority or that authority either has never lived in nigeria or are halucinating
This is an issue that calls for serious investigation, and i hope that the able governor of Edo state will leave no nstone unturned. From the video it is observed that only the Prof. seems to be involved in the so called sexual act process, while the so called Judith seems to be non active in the love jam process, something seems not to be right here, because it takes two to be involved in act of making love, in this case Judith is expected to be willingly submissive to Prof not that she is being asked to do it under duress. This i believe should be properly investigated as it may be another act of blackmail.
This whole episode is very disgusting! While we should all abhor and seriously condemn sexual harrassment, this case looks pretty much like a set-up, apparently to settle some old scores! They were not meeting for the first time! And extorting money from a man under duress, not just by her but also by a whole gang, ("settle us now") makes a bad case out of a legitimate one. The whole affair should be investigated and the culprits punished!
But what does this shameful incident tell us? It literally exposes the putrid state of our country, just like SR strips the criminals-in-power naked, on a daily basis! Hard core! But these bandits are immune! Roam free!
Like Babangida, the Untouchable, who brought all these iniquities on us! We should channel our anger in the right direction! Uproot the tree of evil and the branches will die! Only then can we breathe again!
Thomas Elo....just wondering,...How come you know so much of the background story. I you sure you didn't have the lecturer sign a check for you too?.
In court, when a case is up, the Jury and Judge try to look for motive. That's very important. Assesssing this case from an independent perspective, let's try to figure out what the girl's motive was in wanting to expose this professor. Was it that she really wants to expose him bcos he was harassing her for sex? that does not seem so. From the video, she communicates with persons with her phone at intervals as the whole thing was playing out- uhmmm! that rings suspicious to me. Is it that she's talking to the real schemers who used her to execute the whole set up? seems like. uuhmmmm! just thinking
what that video didn’t show was about 3 hours of manhandling and abduction, before they began to record it. What you saw there was a man who was already disoriented from how he’s been manhandled, he was told to co-operate with them for his release out of there. That’s why you see him smile sometimes in the video. All he was doing there was cooperating with them because he wanted to get out of the situation as quick as he could.
i love to see thing like this happen not just to the lecturers or Professors but i will love to see something like this happen to the politicians and the managers and all the bad Ogas all over 9ja. God will help us all. sorry is a bad world to use on this.
This whole things is a complete mess, The guys behind this scene should be call to Order. This is a case of extortion, This girl has been sleeping with the Lecturer which is very Obvious from all indication. she claims the Lecturer failed her, From her conversation on the phone does she sounds bright? Can she define the course she is reading? They should investigate this girl properly to speak the truth,
to say things like this are not investigated in nigeria is an half truth
let any lady who is harass and reported and left unattended to come out to say
please let us be frank wt the truth and not encourage illicit behavior in any form
to both parties THIS IS UNFAIR
thank you..nigeria is grear and will be greater
So, what really happened was that the girl took the lecturer to her house, and immediately the man stopped his car in the compound, 3 other girls who it’s now clear were her accomplice came out from nowhere, locked up the compound gate, grabbed his car keys from him and started searching his car as if they were looking for something-maybe they were looking for the girl’s exam script, which she had told him to bring along but he didn’t. They man-handled the man, and him not wearing his shirt as seen in the video was not as a result of him being caught having sex with the girl, it was the girl’s plan to do this so as to portray in the video that that was what was happening.
omoge are you free ? remeber ur not in western world, ur in 3rd world country. Do u think u will win this case , well lets see, monika try it with cliton but she end up in writting book later ppl call her a bitch, but clinton still an icon,i dont wanna knw wht happen,But you are a pussy hole bitch
It is quited saddening to see that most of the men commenting on the above seem to somehow imply that the woman either did the wrong thing or is at fault here. There lies the problem we have in Nigeria, how can't you see that this sort of things is what corrupts our society absolutely. It can't be right that a man in a position of trust can use it to exploit people. The men who suggest that the lady did the wrong thing should try and imagine if it where their daughter in such a position? I'm sure their opinion would be different. Unfortunately, the decay in Nigeria as a society is everywhere, even in our so called places of learning.
This video and its publication threw up a number of issues:
SR:
1.I’m not sure you took decency into consideration in publishing this video “as it is”.
2.SR could have at least covered the Prof’s “whatever you want to call it”
3.We the readers also feel somehow insulted watching this – it’s a bit close to
Pornography. I wonder what the opinion of your respected contributors e.g. Olumese, would be.
4.Most importantly, knowing Nigerians for who they are, SR may have unknowingly shown criminals another money-making method – Just wait!
JUDITH
1.You set out to portray yourself as a decent woman, but you stupidly did the exact opposite. What do you want to do with the money extorted from the lecturer? Is that the price of your “whatever?”
2.You also let us know you slept with this Prof before. What kind of woman are you? What future lies before you? How many companies would be ready to employ you after your studies based on this video, which revealed a lot about your character?
THE LECTUERER IS THE VICTIM HERE.THE LADIES AND HER MALE FRIENDS ARE CULTIST
To all you people condemning the posting of this video,Shame on you. SR did the moral and right thing. Evil thrives when good men sit and do nothing, SR keep the flag flying. This lecturer got what he deserves and the students are the victims. This issue of sexual harassment has been thriving in our universities for the past 20 yrs. One of the reasons most of our graduates are half baked or burnt is the issue of sex for grades and cash for grades. The lecturers have taken the part of dishonor and refused to act honorably in their various positions. BTW I noticed that most of the folks condemning the video can not even write good English, no wonder they are supporting the fake professor. Like the bible says whatsoever a man sows he shall surely reap in full. Prof your harvest is here and unfortunately you will be the only laborer.
ayo ogunjobi i shudder at your ostensible ignorance with this your nonsense of a feable extoetion theory,is the lecturer priviledged financially? while Usiomeme i ask what school authority are you asking the victim to report to,report and the very person you report to is asking also to be allowed to "wack the congo" also.A for you faceless IS THIS JOURNALISM i ask you wait till your daughter get bulalad by a lecturer before you realise that in circumstances such as the parties find them selves,you may end up not been very sure what your name truelly is,besides what better english language did the lecturer speak that is any better than what the victim spoke or better still i find nothing semantically or logically suggesting you will fare when better when caught with your pants down and DORA AKIYULI holds a doctorate also but under compromised circumstances you loose your mojo.
Now that this rent a crowd has successfully unmasked this bent lecturer, I hope they will have the courage to storm ASo rock or the State House and demand equity distribution of there commonwealth.
na ONLY those wey dey never try them sister dey talk rubbish of SR...one lecurer for Federal School of Dental Technology, Enugu, Nigeria, be wan try my Sister, i tell my sis make she cool down for me, but God save the man say him no go further, cos i for do the worse...in any case my sis dey intelligent and quiet sha...no be like dis prostitute, Judith, wey dey BOLD.
What a failed system. How do we as a people ever expect to grow and develop like this? Well...
The facts of this case can not really be established by this video clip. At best it shows a man being humiliated by a group of people. But this post should open up the issue of what is happening in Nigerian universities, in particular, the kinds of relationship lecturers have with students. Demands for money and sex by lecturers appear to be rife and steps should be taken at the highest level to stamp this out.
